1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.
Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti makĩhũũrana na Isiraeli; nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmoorĩra, na aingĩ ao makĩũragĩrwo kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
2 And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.
Afilisti makĩhatĩrĩria Saũlũ na ariũ ake mũno, na makĩũraga ariũ acio ake, Jonathani, na Abinadabu, na Malikishua.
3 And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.
Na rĩrĩ, mbaara nĩyaneneheire Saũlũ mũno mũno, na rĩrĩa aikia a mĩguĩ maamũkinyĩrire, makĩmũguraria mũno.
4 Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.
Nake Saũlũ akĩĩra mũkuui wake wa indo cia mbaara atĩrĩ, “Comora rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora ũũthece naruo, nĩguo andũ aya mataruaga matigooke maatheece na maanyararithie.” No rĩrĩ, mũkuui ũcio wake wa indo cia mbaara agĩĩtigĩra mũno, akĩrega gwĩka ũguo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩoya rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, akĩrũgwĩra.
5 And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.
Rĩrĩa mũkuui wake wa indo cia mbaara onire atĩ Saũlũ nĩakua-rĩ, o nake akĩgwĩra rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, agĩkua.
6 So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ, na ariũ ake atatũ, na mukuui wake wa indo cia mbaara, na andũ ake othe magĩkua hamwe mũthenya o ro ũcio.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa kĩanda na arĩa maarĩ mũrĩmo wa Jorodani moonire atĩ mbũtũ ya ita ya Isiraeli nĩyoora, na atĩ Saũlũ na ariũ ake nĩmakuĩte-rĩ, magĩtiganĩria matũũra mao makĩũra. Nao Afilisti magĩthiĩ magĩtũũra kuo.
8 And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Afilisti magĩthiĩ kũbora ciimba, magĩkora Saũlũ na ariũ ake atatũ makuĩte kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people.
Nao makĩmũtinia mũtwe na makĩoya indo ciake cia mbaara, magĩcooka magĩtũma andũ mathiĩ bũrũri wothe wa Afilisti makaanĩrĩre ũhoro ũcio thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya mĩhianano yao ya kũhooywo, na kũrĩ andũ ao.
10 And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
Makĩiga indo cia Saũlũ cia mbaara thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ashitarothu, na mwĩrĩ wake makĩwoherera rũthingo-inĩ rwa Bethi-Shani.
11 When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
No rĩrĩa andũ a Jabeshi-Gileadi maaiguire ũrĩa Afilisti meekĩte Saũlũ-rĩ,
12 Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
njamba ciao cia ita igĩthiĩ ũtukũ wothe nginya Bethi-Shani. Makĩruta mwĩrĩ wa Saũlũ na ya ariũ ake atatũ kuuma rũthingo-inĩ rwa Bethi-Shani, na magĩthiĩ nayo Jabeshi, magĩcooka makĩmĩcinĩra kuo.
13 And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
Magĩcooka makĩoya mahĩndĩ macio mao na makĩmathika gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũtĩ wa mũbinde kũu Jabeshi, na makĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio mĩthenya mũgwanja.
